As a blanket rule, I think this is a bad idea. Some blogs, like my DLC/Mod ideas are timeless, and I welcome feedback no matter when you came across them... Some users got to experience them for the first time in chat the other night. With News blogs - particularly with the Beth v Iplay series, I can see a case for a final comment from the poster encouraging people to look at the next in the series and then lock as being a good thing, rather than leaving someone who stumbles across something half way through with the wrong impression. I'm happy to start doing locks as "best practice" for news digest blogs when the next is published if others agree this is a good practice.

Revision as of 18:08, 7 July 2012
I constantly see people commenting on blogs that are very old. Because of this, I'm making this forum to suggest a new rule.
The reason is that people comment on blogs and edit forums that are from 2011 and earlier. In addition, people wouldn't expect someone to comment/edit something so old. A perfect example can be found here.
The rule is simple: if someone edits a forum or comments a blog that is 6 months old or more, the administrator locks it.
- However, if it includes a link included in Wanted Pages/Files/Categories lists (or anything else needing maintenance) then the user is free to edit it.
So, what do you say?
